Sorry for your loss

I'm sorry to hear that. That's impressive you were able to care for a python during some of the craziest years of your life! I'm only 23 and I can hardly remember when I was 12! LOL I'm getting my first BP next week (already had 1 shipped but it got lost in transit and was DOA). I hope it lives a long healthy life as well.

Best to look on the bright side... I hardly ever hear of exotic pets dying of old age (no such thing, but you know what I mean). You should be proud of doing such a great job!

Hopefully we'll all be able to say the same down the road.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I can't even imagine what its like to lose a pet you've cared for for so long...

Sorry to hear about your lose. I hope you can have the same success in the future.
I have only been into BPs for about 4 months, but I did have a Red Tail Boa for 28 years. He really was like one of the family, It was sad to see him go!
